Swagbucks presents a mixed reputation among its users, with some customers appreciating the variety of ways to earn rewards, such as surveys and games. However, significant concerns dominate the feedback, particularly regarding account deactivations, unresponsive customer service, and delayed payouts. Many users report frustration over not receiving compensation for completed surveys and feeling misled about earning potential. The overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction, with a notable number of users warning others against investing time in the platform due to perceived scams and inadequate support. This suggests a pressing need for the company to enhance its customer service and reliability.

I like Swagbucks. It's an easy way to make a little extra $ for gifts or little things for the family. Doesn't take a lot of time and has helped me
Earn almost $300 this year in gift cards for Christmas gifts for our kids.
I love using swagbucks, i like playing Swagbucks IQ too, i had no problem with redeeming points for gift cards...
I love Swagbucks! It's simple, provides many ways to earn Swagbucks, has great options for gift cards and flexible cash, and SwagIQ is pure genius!
This site is legit! The surveys are cool and fun. The payout has many options. The gift cards arrive promptly. I am a satisfied customer. I received my Walmart gift cards within 3 business days. And, yes it is very real. There are several options to redeem Swag Bucks. You can use Paypal if that's your choice. I love it and will continue to do surveys on Swag Bucks for some quick easy cash.
So easy to use and earn free gift cards! It has paid for many extra things for my family and I. I often earn on things I would normally buy anyways
I think Swagbucks is great, and the opportunity to earn money excited me, especially since I have been in between job and needing some extra income, unfortunately it became a very slow and tedious process. The first week I started surveys, I was getting SB like crazy and all the surveys were completed. Once I started getting close to 1,500 SB, every 9/10 surveys I was unable to complete and I would only get 1 SB. Which would deter me from wanting to log back in to swagbucks.com. Overall, I would recommend Swagbucks, but do not expect this to be a fast way to get money.
This is great because i do a lot of online shopping. The surveys are kind of a joke. Half the time you answer a million questions and then dont qualify so waste a lot of time doing that. But if you shop online etc its worth it to earn a little extra money for those "fun" purchases.
Out of the different sites and apps I've tried, Swagbucks is definitely the one I've had the best experience with. While the rewards per survey and per activity aren't super high, there are so many different things you can do that the money adds up pretty quickly. And I really enjoy the little rewards for reaching certain daily and weekly goals, it creates a extra motivation for sticking to it.
That being said, it has some unfortunate flaws that are good to be aware of. For one thing, you'll get kicked out of surveys A LOT. You really have to keep checking the survey page often and click on any that are remotely worth the time before you find one that works out. Errors at the end of the surveys are also common, and though the support answers tickets quickly, you'll need the survey number and a screenshot, and it's still no guarantee. They also have various offers from other sites and businesses, and some of them are scams, malware, and sites wanting your personal information. Be wary of those.
Also, the swagbucks subreddit can be very helpful, for tips, reminders, and general information.
All in all, it's not perfect but it works well most of the time, and I've cashed out rewards to paypal several times without any issues.
You don't make much at all for it. I get that the site is for just making some side change but the surveys are super difficult to qualify for and at most you make about a dollar an hour
I like the website, it has many good features. I wish they could give more bucks to get rewards but over all I like it very much. It helps me out every know and then.
I visit the website at least once a day--mostly because I enjoy taking the Daily Poll! But, that alone only provides 1SB point. I have taken some surveys in which I qualified/got the complete amount of SB points it offered. But, that was on very rare occasions.
Majority of the surveys end up timing out &/or close, because "they are not all winners." I wish I would at least get more than just 1 SB point for the time I put into the survey...
Good way to earn fun money for holidays and/or vacations. Now working on second Disney vacation in two years with Swagbucks help.
Swagbucks is a great way to earn free money. I would give it 5 stars but the only problem is the 5 dollar fee you have to pay to get your Visa card sent to you.
This site is really cool. You get rewarded for things you would normally do anyway! I've already received two gift cards, totaling $50, for answering surveys and shopping online.
I love Swagbucks and since i began, i've probably made over $500 doing surveys. It helps and i'm thankful. Takes a little time and sometimes it's aggravating as ever, but you just keep going. I try not to over do it and use it casually in my spare time. My family doesn't have a lot of money, living hand to mouth, so it's worth it to me. Cheers.
The website is amazing, there is no issue that I have execpt for the fact that you get kicked out of the surveys a lot, even though you arent a bot. But, otherwise this website is totally legit, its not a scam, and its basically just free money! I am completely satisfied with this app, and I recommend it to anybody that needs the extra change!
I have never had an issue with Swagbucks being dishonest or not giving me my rewards. Unlike other sites they have reasonable amounts of points to earn for rewards. I haven't paid out of pocket for a family vacation since I discovered Swagbucks!
If you have a few hours to play on your computer then you can make some money. Take surveys and play games to earn SB and turn into cash from your phone or computer. Its easy and fun.
With little effort and through most stuff I do anyway, I get free gift cards on a somewhat regular basis.
Answer: They are definately legit been a member for many years and have earned over 70,000 swagbucks been paid many times with no problems also use there swagbutton with no problems
Answer: It is real cash, since you can have the payment through PayPal or Visa cards. They're not going to just deposit into a bank account.
Answer: Each point is a penny. So if you want a $5 gift card you need 500 Swagbucks. My only recommendation is don't get the Visa cards. All other cards work easily online or in store. Visa never seems to be accepted anywhere.
Answer: No, it won't steal your personal data. It's perfectly safe.
Answer: Got to $28 rather quick but the next $2 i need to cash out IS TAKING FOREVER!
Answer: You need to earn swagbucks to get a gift card. As few as 300-500 swagbucks will get you a gift card (worth $3 - $5). Better gift cards are available for more swagbucks.
Answer: Either way. Some gift cards are physical cards and are mailed and some are online.
Answer: "... the page disappeared..."? If this is about getting a bonus for using the Search function, the page doesn't disappear; it sits there until you move off it. A couple times, I have moved off a page before realizing there was a Search bonus. I hit the Back button on my browser & input the code, no problem. Of course, if you don't respond in a timely manner, the bonus expires. (I think it's around 3 minutes, but I'm not certain.) Also, if you input a non-matching code, you'll get a new code, but only 2x (3 chances in total). Are you maybe talking about a SwagCode? That's a bonus that appears on an otherwise normal page. And again the page doesn't disappear. If you take too long, you get an expired notice in the SwagCode box, but the page remains.
Answer: Many giftcards are sent electronically. Some are within a few hours, others can take a few days. How well they pay depends on which activity you're referring to and also how much time and effort you devote to earning. Some activities are USELESS, like watching videos - you watch 15 30-second videos and are only paid 2SB, the equivalent of 2¢. For 7.5mins, that's asinine! However, some of the activities, like the surveys, in-store shopping/receipt upload and games (such as Swago) can offer a great bonus here and there.
Answer: You never get paid from there discovery items, huge scam
